Dear Experts,
My requirement is tuning CPU grace time in a PROD ASE (15.7 SP122 on AIX) server
Inputs for your consideration:
sp_sysmon output for Application management:
Application Statistics Summary (All Applications)
-------------------------------------------------
Priority Changes per sec per xact count % of total
------------------------- ------------ ------------ ---------- ----------------------------
To High Priority 0.1 0.0 44 1.8 %
To Medium Priority 4.0 0.7 1196 50.2 %
To Low Priority 3.8 0.7 1141 47.9 %
------------------------- ------------ ------------ ------------------------------------
Total Priority Changes 7.9 1.5 2381
Allotted Slices Exhausted per sec per xact count % of total
------------------------- ------------ ------------ ---------- ---------------------------
High Priority 0.0 0.0 0 0.0 %
Medium Priority 6.6 1.2 1977 100.0 %
Low Priority 0.0 0.0 0 0.0 %
------------------------- ------------ ------------ -----------------------------------
Total Slices Exhausted 6.6 1.2 1977
--Acc to SAP note 1749935, CPU grace time should be 1000 (receommended)
--Current value for cpu grace time is 2500 clockticks = 250 seconds (4.16 minutes)
I "think" this indicates CPU - intensive tasks are getting more CPU time reducing the time kernel checks for "I/O"
Need your valuable insights in deciding the near perfect value for "cpu grace time parameter"
Let me know if you need more information in this case
